Nose Surgery

I would appreciate your prayers on my behalf (Ricardo) due a surgery that I will have next August the 2nd. It will be a Septoplasty: The goal of the surgery is to straighten out the nasal septum or to relieve obstructions or other problems related to deviation of the septum.

An incision is made internally on one side of the nasal septum. The mucous membrane is lifted away from the cartilage and bone, obstructive parts are removed or repositioned as necessary, and plastic surgery is performed as necessary. Then, the mucous membrane is returned to its original position. The tissues covering the septum are held in place by either stitches or packing.

Thank you
